Curél Foaming Facial Wash Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Curél Foaming Facial Wash is my latest great discovery from this affordable and effective Japanese skincare brand. I was particularly interested to see whether this foaming and moisturizing cleanser, which is made for dry and sensitive skin, would be a good match for my normal/combination skin. I am a fan of hydrating cleansers that are gentle enough for sensitive skin, but I like them to rinse clean without leaving behind any sort of residue that requires a second cleanse (when they would be used last in a double cleansing routine).

This cleanser exceeded my expectations. It has a wonderful and dense foam that thoroughly cleans the skin without stripping it in the least bit, and it rinses clean without any sort of residue. It is fragrance-free (and unscented) and it leaves my skin silky-smooth and hydrated without feeling as though I need to wash my skin again to feel clean. It is gentle, a pleasure to use, and it feels like a great match for my normal/combination skin.
According to Curél,

Designed specifically for dry, sensitive skin, the Curél® Foaming Facial Wash thoroughly cleanses impurities ever-so-gently, leaving skin soft and supple while protecting the natural ceramides from being washed off the skin.

The soft foaming facial wash is the second step of the Japanese ritual called Double Cleansing and ideally it is used in combination with Curél® Makeup Cleansing Gel.

Features:

  • Thoroughly cleanses without stripping hydration
  • Protects ceramide levels
  • pH balanced, fragrance free, colorant free
Directions: Dispense 2 pumps of Curél® Foaming Facial Wash into your palm. Apply the foam onto wet skin. The light lather thoroughly removes impurities without washing away your skin’s natural ceramides. Gently pat dry. When you don‘t need to remove any makeup (i.e. in the morning), use the Foaming Facial Wash on its own.

Ingredients: Water/Aqua, Glycerin, Maltitol, Propylene Glycol, PEG-150, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Sodium Lauroyl Aspartate, Lauryl Hydroxysultaine, Polysorbate 60, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Potassium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben.

Overall Assessment: I am so impressed by the extent to which Curél makes affordable products that feel luxurious, and that are so effective. I will most definitely purchase a replacement bottle when I finish this one. I am delighted to have discovered their skincare products.

Curél Moisture Repair Eye Cream Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Curél Moisture Repair Eye Cream has been a revelation for me, and it is proof positive that an eye cream doesn't have to cost close to a mortgage payment! I should preface this by stating that I am quite finicky about eye creams, and that is because I have sensitive eyes and because rich eye creams tend to give me milia under my eyes.

Given that Curél is Japan’s #1 brand for dry, sensitive skin, I was certain that this fragrance-free eye cream wasn't going to irritate my sensitive eyes, but I was concerned that it was going to be too rich for my skin and cause milia. Therefore, my trial period was handled with great care. I dabbed a tiny amount between my ring fingers and warmed it up before gently patting it into my freshly washed– and still slightly damp– skin, and let it sink in completely. This cream is rich, concentrated and ultra-emollient, and therefore only the smallest amount was needed for both of my eyes. Each time I use this cream it leaves my skin very soft, smooth, supple and moisturized. What is more impressive is the fact that it diminishes under eye puffiness, softens the appearance of fine lines and leaves skin luminous. The bigger issue for me was whether prolonged use was going to cause milia, and after several weeks of twice a day use I am truly delighted to state that I have no milia! Not only is this my current favorite eye cream, but it is very affordable. It is now a staple for me, and nobody is more surprised that I!

According to Curél,

This concentrated eye cream deeply hydrates and visibly reduces fine lines. It nourishes the sensitive eye area with long lasting hydration.

Features:

HYDRATING EYE CREAM – This ceramide infused under eye cream works to noticeably reduce the appearance of fine lines caused by dryness.

RICH IN CERAMIDES – This ceramide infused eye cream helps replenish ceramides, a vital part of your skin’s natural moisture barrier.

FOR DRY, SENSITIVE SKIN - This daily eye cream gently hydrates with care for a soft and dewy complexion.

FRAGRANCE FREE, pH BALANCED, COLORANT FREE - This hydrating eye cream is formulated without drying alcohols for dry, sensitive skin.

DOUBLE HYDRATION - Use after moisturizing with Curel Japanese Skin Care Moisture Facial Milk or Curel Intensive Moisture Facial Cream for a complete hydration skin care routine.

Directions: Gently apply a small amount to the eye area and on eyelids using a gentle patting motion. Smooth from the inside corner of the eye outwards.   

Overall Assessment: This is an excellent and affordable eye cream! Its efficacy is impressive, and it leaves my eyes looking and feeling wonderful. A+
